    Metro Detroit website
    design for every business.

    A restaurant doesn't need the same site as a consultant. A product brand needs something completely different from a personal creator. Most agencies build the same website for everyone and call it custom.

    We don't. We start by understanding what your business actually needs to do — generate leads, sell products, book appointments, close wholesale accounts — then we build the right site for that goal. On the right platform. With the right pages.

    The Business Case

    Your website is your
    highest-leverage sales asset.

    Every single day, potential customers in Detroit, Dearborn, and Metro Detroit are searching for exactly what you offer. The question is whether they find you — or your competitor who invested in a proper website.

    A poorly built website doesn't just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. Studies show that 75% of consumers judge a business's credibility based on its website design alone (Stanford Web Credibility Research). That first impression happens in 0.05 seconds.

    Invisible Without SEO Built In

    A website built without SEO is a brochure no one reads. Every HOK site is engineered with keyword architecture, meta data, Schema markup, and site speed optimized for Google from day one — not bolted on later.

    Mobile-First or Fail

    Google uses mobile-first indexing — it ranks your site based on how it performs on mobile, not desktop. A site that isn't optimized for mobile is being penalized in search results right now. Every HOK build is mobile-first.

    Speed is Revenue

    A 1-second delay in page load time reduces conversions by 7%. If your site takes 5 seconds to load, you've already lost 50%+ of your visitors before they've seen a single word of your offer.

    E-Commerce Deep Dive

    Our most requested build —
    done right.

    An e-commerce site isn't just a store. It's infrastructure.

    Most agencies hand you a Shopify template and call it a day. We build the full system — the brand, the store, the checkout flow, the post-purchase automation, the cart recovery, the analytics. Every piece connected and pulling in the same direction.

    Every HOK e-commerce build includes the items below. These aren't upsells — they're what separates a site that converts from one that just exists.

    • Full custom design — no templates, no shortcuts
    • 20–30 AI-generated commercial product & lifestyle images (owned by you)
    • Complete product catalog setup with descriptions, variants, and pricing
    • Secure checkout with payment gateway integration
    • Mobile-first, performance-optimized build
    • On-page SEO — titles, meta descriptions, alt text, schema markup
    • Google Analytics 4 + Tag Manager installation
    • Facebook / Meta Pixel setup for retargeting
    • Google Search Console connection
    • XML sitemap + robots.txt configuration
    • Studio Escrow CRM connection — every order & lead captured
    • Abandoned cart SMS + email recovery sequence
    • Post-purchase thank-you + review request automation
    • Wholesale inquiry form → CRM pipeline (if applicable)
    • CMS setup — you can update products and content yourself
    • Full credential handoff + team walkthrough at launch

    We build on every major platform

    Platform recommendation is always based on your goals — not ours.

    Every business gets a platform recommendation during discovery. We'll tell you which one makes sense for your products, your audience, and your budget — and explain exactly why.

    Standard on Every Build

    The non-negotiable
    foundation.

    We don't cut corners on the basics. Every HOK website — at every price point — ships with these core foundational elements built in.

    Mobile-First Design
    Every site is built and tested on mobile before desktop. Over 70% of your visitors are on their phones — they'll never see a broken layout.
    On-Page SEO Foundation
    Every page ships with keyword-researched titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and image alt text. Built for Google from day one.
    Speed Optimization
    Images compressed, code minified, Core Web Vitals optimized. A slow site loses sales and rankings — we make sure yours loads fast.
    SSL & Security
    SSL certificate, secure hosting configuration, and basic security hardening included. Your site — and your customers' data — are protected.
    CRM Integration
    Included standard on all Studio Escrow builds. Every lead form, contact page, and inquiry flow connects directly to your pipeline.
    Digital Presence Foundation (recommended add-on, $800 one-time): For businesses that want the full tracking stack from day one — includes GTM container build, GA4 enhanced e-commerce tracking, Facebook Pixel with conversion events, Google Ads conversion pixel, Search Console verification, GBP optimization, schema markup implementation, XML sitemap, and 70+ directory listings sync. This is how you hold us accountable — every tool gives you full visibility into whether what we said would work is actually working.

    On pricing ranges: Every project is scoped individually after a discovery call. The prices above are honest starting points — a 3-page landing page is different from a 30-SKU e-commerce store even if they share a category. We'll tell you exactly what your project costs before you commit to anything. No surprises. Deposit is 50% at agreement signing; remaining 50% at delivery.

    Maintenance & Retainers

    Your site is live.
    Now keep it growing.

    A website isn't a one-time purchase — it's infrastructure that needs to perform, stay updated, and keep improving. Every retainer includes ongoing website management plus the Studio Escrow CRM platform at no extra software cost.

    Required for complex builds: E-commerce stores, membership platforms, B2B catalog sites, and any build with Studio Escrow automation require a minimum 6-month retainer commitment post-launch. This ensures your systems stay optimized, your automations keep running, and your investment keeps compounding. Month-to-month available after the initial 6-month period.
